Introduction
 The
Millennium Wheel (British Airways
London Eye) on London's south bank provides one of the very
few places from which to view our great city. That's because,
though London may have scaled the heights of global kudos in
recent times, compared to other great cities, it is extremely
low slung.
This absence of height is often
proclaimed as part of London's charm, but that doesn't alter
the fact that it would be exhilarating to discover the few really
stunning vertical viewing points available.
 Some
of the most obvious high spots of the capital such as Canary Wharf, the Telecom Tower and the NatWest
Tower are office blocks that allow views only to those whose
business lies within. This makes London even more at odds with
the likes of Paris and New York whose high points are often public
spaces. London is a more secretive city which makes finding the
best viewing spots a little tricky. Tricky, but not impossible.
From man-made sites like the
London Hilton on Hyde Park Corner and natural highs such as Primrose
Hill to outer London places like Shooters Hill and Hampstead
Heath, LondonNet gives the low-down on the high-ups that are
the capital's best viewing spots.
